I know the McCanns insisted on E1.2 million, which is the amount they are suing him for, being held seperately. Amaral does have a highMortgage but the house is in joint names so could not be used as collateral. The Jag was a Company asset , but I think 2 million books were sold so he would have made money which is what upset the McCanns the most.

The very fact it is on e-bay is suspicious. The Seller is roxy media .I presume Amaral"s book was published in Portugese first . ThisBook was last updated on 22nd October 2011 so I am just wondering if it is part of an original printing which was subsequently abandoned because of the injunction and this guy has bought a job lot , maybe changed the cover himself.

According to Ironside on Joanna's blog the picture cover was the original.

To be honest I would be surprised, Maddie is such a familiar name which Kate said they never called her anyway and Amaral knew Gerry had taken out a copyright on her colombara and photographs. Why would it appear on e-bay, updated on the 22nd of this month?It is verycheap and my guess is that someone bought a job lot of Amarals unsold book and the seller copied Kate"s Book cover. I wonder if Kate and Gerry see this or are told about it? another one to sue.

I just looked at the Sellers Site, he has a Store with many books on sale, tried to ask a question about the cover but no joy, maybe Argo the Publisher will throw somw light on the Book, Amaral would know if it is genuine.
